OPA: Excel connectivity

I noticed that Workato offers a build-in functionality to connect to Excel. However, this features includes a connection to oneDrive, Sharepoint or Google Drive. This is not what I want to achieve...


I want to read an Excel file from an on-premises system. Does anyone has an idea to solve my problem? Or will a new feature request be the answer?

The business refuses this approach... They want to work with Excel. I tried to confince them, but did not yet succeed...

Currently, I'm trying to user the On-prem file - new file trigger, and then I'm trying to parse it with Ruby or Python action. However, not yet successful...

OK. I have tried to rename the file using the action "Rename" from XLSX to CSV but that does not work too. I continue searching and let you know if I found something.
